Strictly speaking, 32bit FF/TB in 32bit OS install on %ProgramFiles%,
64bit FF/TB in 64bit OS install again on %ProgramFiles%.

So, the real pain happen for a bitness change, eg if you move from a
32bit FF/TB to a 64bit FF/TB (clearly, on a 64bit OS), because you
change from %ProgramFiles(x86)% to %ProgramFiles%.


Still, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT, thinking to install 32bit software on
%ProgramFiles% on 64bit OS is probably, as Klaus say, worster then the
trouble it (try to) solve.

I agree.
